Abstract

Subtitled ‘A Farrago’, a mixed prose-and-verse account of a four-day walk across Sussex by four companions - Myself, Grizzlebeard, the Sailor and the Poet - who are really facets of Belloc himself. An elegiac celebration of the beloved home county, friendship and wine, shadowed by the knowledge that all beloved things must pass.
